Method

  1. Knead flour, 180 g water and 1 g salt for 10 minutes into a smooth firm dough. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Shred cabbage very finely and chop onion, ginger and garlic. Keep cabbage in the filling; its small pieces cook during steaming and no ingredient is discarded.
  3. Thoroughly mix beef mince, cabbage, onion, ginger, garlic, reduced-sodium shoyu and the remaining 1 g salt in a bowl until the filling is even.
  4. Divide dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each into a 9 cm round. Divide all filling evenly among the 24 pieces (about 44 g each), pleat the edge and seal tightly.
  5. Put 1,000 g water in a steamer, bring it to a boil and wet the steaming insert lightly. Steam momo over boiling water for 14 minutes until filling reaches 72 °C; discard the steamer water afterwards.
